His admirers can only regret that gifts so rich and so rare should have been buried in judicial dining-rooms or squandered on the dismal orgies of the Cosmopolitan Club, where dull men sit round a meagre fire, in a large, draughty, and half-lit room, drinking lemon-squash and talking for talking's sake the most melancholy of occupations.
"Better!" he groaned, "why the day you let that Bibby woman loose on me I was a flowing river compared to my mood to-day." At that a recollection evidently came over Kate, some memory that the unexpected arrival had driven away, for she froze visibly. "I will go and make you a lemon-squash," she said coldly; "you are possibly thirsty."
There were lemons which were ripe on the trees on New Year's Day, and made many a lemon-squash: there was double narcissus in flower everywhere; it sprouted up in the grass paths which divided our garden, and got badly trodden down: there were rows and rows of beans, which scented the air: last of all, there were some red geraniums in flower.
He pointed to Dick Four, whose nose gleamed scornfully over the rug. "I knew you wouldn't," said Dick Four. "Give me a whiskey and soda. I've been drinking lemon-squash and ammoniated quinine while you chaps were bathin' in champagne, and my head's singin' like a top."
It all depends on what news I can gather, or if a letter comes. I can easily stay in Cairo until I hear. You won't object to that?" "No. It's beastly hot here, by Jove!" Freddy poured himself out a lemon-squash and drank it off. "I'm not sorry it's time to go home." "I don't feel the heat very much the nights keep pretty cool." "You're looking fagged, all the same."
She left the two youngsters confronted. "What do you say to a lemon-squash?" asked Mr. Pogis, respecting his friend's wounded dignity, and ignoring Lottie and her offence. "I don't care if I do," said Boyne in gloomy acquiescence. Few witnesses of the fact that Julia Rasmith and her mother had found themselves on the same steamer with the Rev.
Nearly all of Elsa's wealth lay bound up in this enormous business which General Chetwood had founded thirty odd years before. And neither of them knew! "I am not a bad man at heart," he mused, "but I liked the young man's expression when I mentioned that bully Mallow." He joined his family at five. He waved aside tea, and called for a lemon-squash. "Elsa, I am going to give you a lecture."
He's a great pal of mine. But he's very strict." "Strict?" "Yes," she insisted, rather defensively. "Why not? I should like a strawberry ice, and a lemon-squash, and a millefeuille cake. Don't be alarmed, please. I'm a cave-woman. You've got to get used to it." "What's a cave-woman?" "It's something primitive. You must come over to Paris.
But he mustered up a smile as he entered the room and held out the recovered fan. The "little milliner" was nowhere to be seen, and Kitty herself was ensconced on the Chesterfield, enjoying an iced lemon-squash and a cigarette, while Penelope and Barry were downstairs playing a desultory game of billiards. The irregular click of the ivory balls came faintly to Mallory's ears. "Got my fan, Peter?
"Haven't you cream?" she curtly challenged the waitress, arriving with ice, lemon-squash, and George's tea. The alien mercenary met her glance inimically for a second, and then, shutting her lips together, walked off with the milk. At Prosser's the waitresses did not wear caps, and were, in theory, ladies.
